I Know What You Mean, Megan

Tonight Tim and the kids are at the cabin.  I work today and tomorrow, so I get to have to stay here.

Don't get me wrong.  I love the cabin.

And I love my family.

I also love breaks.  The silence around here tonight has been golden. (And don't worry...  Tim gets his break in a few weeks when he goes out of town.)

But not long ago my golden silence was interrupted by a text from Megan.  (Actually I was just starting to miss all of them.)

They're having an all night Harry Potter marathon.  (Guaranteed they'll be asleep soon.)

I texted Megan that Blossom misses her.  (Actually both dogs miss the kids.  You should see them moping around here like their world just ended.)

Megan texted back, "Oh, we miss her...  Sorta, cuz it is relaxing not thinking about the dogs."


I had to laugh, because I know the feeling, Megan!

(And suddenly, just when I was starting to miss my kiddos, the silence turned golden again.  Yes.  Kind of relaxing.)

So Megan...  I'll take care of the dogs.  You give the kids a hug for me, and I'll see you all tomorrow.

(And P.S.  Don't forget prayers.)
